Memoirs of a Geisha - Auntie's (Tsai Chin) Set Dressing Geta Shoes - 63-40

This is an original pair of geta acquired by the production of the film Memoirs of a Geisha. This is not a replica; it is an actual piece acquired by the production for use by Tsai Chin as Auntie. The pair consists of wooden platform geta on raised wooden teeth, with indigo blue and white geometric floral patterned fabric straps secured by brass tacks, and rubber grip pads applied to the soles. Accompanied by a production wardrobe tag marked "Auntie / Ch. 1 / sc. 17-20 / Geta / *used as set dressing."

The item(s) may exhibit varying levels of wear and studio distressing, as detailed in the listing images that provide an accurate representation of the condition. All inner wardrobe tags have been photographed to offer insight into size and use. If tags are absent from the photographs, it indicates that they were removed by the studio, and no size information is available.
